It's all well and good to say "oh you can just install a custom ROM". But you (and many here) can do that. Because you're technically inclined. But the vast majority have users have no idea what the hell you're talking about. They barely know what a security update is or what version of Android they're using, let alone being able to find, choose, and install a ROM.

Can we just choose to stop suggesting it as a legitimate solution cause outside of this bubble, it absolutely is not.

people don't know how to install Windows either. In theory they could go to a shop to update their phone like their are doing with Windows but the reality is that nobody cares about updating their phone.
